2009 has been a big one for celebrity deaths, and it’s ending on a particularly sour note with two dying well before their time. Brittany Murphy died at 32 a couple of weeks ago, and now Jimmy Sullivan has died at just 28.
Sullivan was the drummer for metal band Avenged Sevenfold. Known to fans as The Rev or The Reverend Tholomew Plague, he’s been a part of the band since they founded in 1999.
He was found dead at his home in Huntingdon Beach on Monday night. It’s believed he died from natural causes, but at 28 years old, that doesn’t seem possible. He’s left behind his wife Leana MacFadden.
This is the music video for one of Avenged Sevenfold’s biggest hits, The Beast and The Harlot, which features on the Guitar Hero 2 video game.
